“Reprofiled”, that's the term.
Well, that's what begs the question. We're going to outside contractors to tell us how to run government like a business, presumably. Deloitte Touche is becoming to the government what Arthur Andersen was to Enron, yet we have this inconsistency here.
If you want to use the running government like a private business analogy, who would invest in a company if you couldn't trust the financial statements? If somebody pulled a stunt like that in a private sector, publicly traded company, they'd be exposed for misleading people. There's going to be a big announcement, Building Canada; let's build more stuff, and all the municipalities will sing and cheer. But 50% of it is going to be money that was held back in a miserly fashion from the previous spending year. Am I reading this right? Am I finally starting to be able to figure out these estimates?
